Design the filter and associated ductwork for the best match of pressure
drop versus filter size. Best practice usually chooses filter systems with
pressure drops under 0.2 in. W.C. (50 Pa), with the best blower electrical
efficiency and system airflow performance occurring with filter pressure
drops under 0.1 in. W.C. (25 Pa).
Provide duct transitions, as required, to smoothly transition airflow from
the return duct system to the filter (or IAQ device) to the furnace when
the dimensions of the ductwork or furnace return air opening do not
match the required filter or IAQ device dimensions. See the instructions
supplied with factory-accessory duct adapters.

There are no provisions for an internal filter in these furnaces. An
external filter rack is required and is purchased separately. A field
supplied accessory air cleaner may also be used in place of the filter
rack.
For upflow applications, the filter can be installed on either side of the
furnace, the bottom of the furnace or any combination of side and
.
For downflow applications, the filter rack (or field supplied accessory air
cleaner) must only be connected to the bottom opening on the furnace,
.
For horizontal applications, the filter rack (or field supplied accessory air
cleaner) can be connected to the bottom opening on the furnace. For side
return use in the horizontal position, see
. If both side and bottom
, each opening used will require a filter.
A filter rack or any field supplied accessory air cleaner can also be
installed in the common return duct prior to entering the return air
opening in any orientation.
Refer to the instructions supplied with the Filter Rack or accessory air
filter for assembly and other details.
Due to the relatively high pressure drops of 1-in (25 mm) thick
after-market filter media, it is recommended that the filtration system be
designed for at least 2-in (51 mm) thick media.
TIPS FROM CONTRACTORS:
Install a media cabinet capable of
incorporating a 4-in (102 mm) thick media filter. This allows room for
future upgrades to other IAQ devices.
Table 6 – Filter Information
See manufacturers’ specifications for pressure drop versus airflow data for specific filter media.
If the filter size that you are looking for is not contained in
, refer to
for a comparison of Pressure Drop (initial/clean resistance to
airflow) versus Face Velocity for a variety of filter media types.
NOTICE
!
Design the duct system FIRST to determine how much pressure drop
may be allowed in the filter system. See the Air Ducts section.
Excessive filter pressure drop often compromises system airflow and
duct performance, causes inadequate airflow to the furthest ends of the
duct system, as well as causes excess noise and higher than anticipated
electrical consumption.
